Final Rites for Elliott Parker
A large number of relatives and friends assembled at the First Baptist Church in Houston Wednesday afternoon to pay final tribute to County Attorney Elliott Parker, 79 who died at five o'clock Tuesday morning at the Houston Hospital following a short illness. The rites were conducted by the pastor, the Rev. D D Satterwhite, and the Houston Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons. Burial was in the Gibbs Cemetery.
The widely known beloved attorney and Masonic leader was born and reared in Chickasaw County. He was the son of the late Jim Parker and Mrs. Callie Parker, pioneer citizens. Following his graduation from the University Of Mississippi School Of Law, for four years he taught school in the Philippine Islands. Returning to the United States, he practiced law in Texas for a short time before returning to Houston where he continued the practice of his profession. He was elected County Attorney in 1939 and was reelected in 1943 and again in 1947 without opposition. A grade he made in Spanish while attending the University still stands as the highest mark ever made in that course.
He was a member of the Baptist Church and Hamasa Shrine Temple
